Background
==========
This version of the :app:`Pyramid` wiki tutorial presents a
:app:`Pyramid` application that uses technologies which will be
familiar to someone with :term:`Zope` experience. It uses
:term:`ZODB` as a persistence mechanism and :term:`traversal` to map
URLs to code. It can also be followed by people without any prior
Python web framework experience.
To code along with this tutorial, the developer will need a UNIX
machine with development tools (Mac OS X with XCode, any Linux or BSD
variant, etc.) *or* a Windows system of any kind.
.. warning::
This tutorial has been written for Python 2. It is unlikely to work
without modification under Python 3.
Have fun!
